Academic writing is unique in that it requires writers to position their ideas within a broader scholarly conversation.  In this workshop we will discuss how scholars can better map and intervene in their field’s ongoing conversation.  We will discuss the “They Say / I Say” model of scholarly writing and examine the ways in which what “they say” is presented in published scholarship.  In addition to a deeper theoretical understanding of academic writing, participants will discover templates and phrases they can incorporate into their own work. We will also discuss and practice some scholarly research techniques.  Using free online tools such Google Scholar and Zotero, a popular citation management program, we will learn how to track down the latest scholarship and organize what we find.  Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops to take full advantage of these resources.

Tutor: Matthew Overstreet is an Assistant Professor of English at the New Economic School.  He holds a PhD in rhetoric and composition from the University of Pittsburgh.  Originally from the United States, he has taught writing and research on three continents.
